ODU-MAC Power Connector range now complete with a solution for manual mating

ith the new ODU-MAC Power Connector M216 / M316, ODU has added a manually pluggable
solution for high-current and high-voltage applications, with a robust aluminium housing variant ensuring maximum reliability and safety.
The ODU-MAC Power Connector is designed to stand out by combining high- current and high-voltage transmission up to 600 A in a single connector, achieved via bridged contacts with current rails, while providing IP2X touch protection for enhanced user safety.
The proven ODU LAMTAC Flex contact system guarantees low mating and unmating forces and is designed for more than 10,000 mating cycles. Typical application areas
include e-mobility, end-of-line testing, and high-voltage testing.
The new M216 / M316 variant brings these advantages to manual operation. Pre-assembled silicone cables, the robust housing, and ODU LAMTAC Flex contacts ensure long service life and operational reliability.
Just like the existing docking versions, the manual solution can be flexibly combined with ODU-MAC Blue-Line modules, enabling a wide variety of transmission types: from signal, power, and high current to coax, pneumatics, fluids, high-speed data, and fibre optics.
Thanks to its modularity, the connector also simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime: while conventional solutions often require several connectors to supply
the necessary currents, according to ODU, the M216 / M316 achieves this with a single plug-in action.
Delivered as a complete system with pre-assembled cables, it reduces customer
effort while offering maximum flexibility for demanding testing and measurement environments, such as automotive and battery testing.
